Greetings to all,

My friend found this creature in his bathroom and took this picture and made a short video (available on request) before it slithered / crawled down the drain. The locals are stumped.

Anybody got an idea?

Seriously yours,

Looks similar to what as a youngster in the UK we called a "slowworm" but was really a type of lizard

exactly.. the 'legless lizard' (no, they're not drunk)

and in a few hundred thousand years, this species of lygosoma will probably lose its limbs too.. Obvious from the pix, that it's begginning the transitional stage in it's evolution..

[Geekfreaklover]

Yes, it's some kind of Skink (Lygosoma) possibly a Bowring's Supple Skink (Lygosoma bowringii) - yet more proof that Charles Darwin was onto something with his theory of evolution.

An ugly creature, though.

Possibly this fella?

Thanks for the quick reply everyone. If there is one thing Thailand needs it's more insect eaters!
